property overview

One Aldwych is a stunning London hotel with a striking contemporary design.

Located in the former Morning Post newspaper building designed by star-architects Charles Mewes and Arthur Davis, One Aldwych is a stunning hotel with a striking contemporary design. Ideally located in the heart of London’s theatre district, it is a short walk from the shops and restaurants of the capital’s bustling West End and close to the financial district. In-house restaurant Axis at One Aldwych draws a large number of guests and locals for its Modern British menu, as does Indigo restaurant with its Modern European food. Overnight guests can relax in the new and private Lounge at One. Another highlight is the double height Lobby Bar, named one of the top five hotel bars in the world by The Sunday Telegraph; it is a buzzing hot spot where those in-the-know order the signature Gin & Tonic Martini.

"I ADORE the Aldwych. I have stayed at many hotels worldwide, some much more expensive than the Aldwych, but never have I enjoyed a stay more. The room, the comfort, staff, amenities, location all just outstanding. I cannot wait to return!"
